I made myself a butter knife holder by using a magnet

there are some who call them... UnPassive?

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 9 points 11 months ago

...... FUCK

I'm gonna make a few of these before it gets cold in the shop

[-] UnPassive@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

Just don't use your wife's cutting board, like I did. It had a big crack and I figured I was upcycling. She didn't notice it was the same and weeks later I got in trouble when she asked where the small cutting board was and I pointed at the butter dish 😅

[-] fubarx@lemmy.world 32 points 11 months ago

Depends on whether knife was originally used for butter, peanut butter, cream cheese, marmite, marmalade, liver pate, or stool sample.

"hey, can you get me the poop knife?"

[-] cdf12345@lemmy.zip 8 points 11 months ago

“I have a few more bits of poop”

More like it depends on whether the 1st ingredient is the same as (or at least compatible with?) the 2nd one - so long as they match, it's fine!? :-P

Butter then peanut butter, but not peanut butter then jelly, cream cheese THEN stool sample, not the other way around, and so on.

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Sacrilege. Butter in peanut butter will spoil first so the lifetime will be cut short.

I get your point though, I'd consider "Nut butters" and Tahini to be compatible as well as "Plain yoghurt, Greek yoghurt". Anything finished in the same sitting is fair game also.

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 11 months ago

Might depend how thoroughly the wipe (onto the bread) was, and how thickly lathered the PB afterwards? :-)

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

what is this peanut butter and spoil. no peanut butter exists that long

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I mean butter, like milk butter inside peanut butter

[-] maccentric@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

I think they’re implying the peanut butter will be consumed before the butter has a chance to spoil? Butter lasts a long time, even at room temp

Goddamnit. I stand accused before the court, and must plead guilty.

No crime has been committed, you are free to go.

I have different but related issues because I wash dishes by hand.

Sink dishes are different levels of dirty. Mixing them is like stabbing me in the dick. Such as a burger frying pan that contaminate tupperware with oil.

Stacking dishes unnecessarily when there's counter space. It takes less space but the underside of the plates becomes very dirty sometimes and instead of it being "wipe of oily hand stuff" quick wipe it's a full clean.

Soup pot - > tupperware - > soup pot reheat is a complete waste of time if you don't need the pot. You should eat the leftovers first anyway. Just shove the whole pot in the fridge.

Eggs contaminate dishes very fast and smell even though they look clean, it's best to keep them separate until washing and then double wash.

When I'm washing dishes nobody should dare putting stuff in the sink. The sink is my workspace and filling it up will both make dishes below dirtier and make it harder refresh the water on the bottom. Some cases I can keep the sink cleanish by rinsing off initial grime directly onto the grated drain and then it's just a quick wash to get a clean sink.

There are probably more but those are from the top of my head in the category "making shit dirty for no reason" that feels like a kick in the nuts when people are trying to help but just create more work. A lot of these make no difference when there's a dishwasher though.

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 5 points 11 months ago

This seems like a volume problem. How many dishes are you washing at a time? I do the dishes after every meal so it's never a lot at once.

I used to make this mistake as well, I'd put a lightly dirty plate in the sink to wash later and then carelessly put a more greasy dish on top and eventually the oil from the greasy dish would fall on top of the lightly dirty one and contaminate it, so what used to be a quick wash now turns into a deep clean chore. I've started washing my dishes more frequently to prevent this

This is the cooking equivalent of the chair of clothes you can still get one more wear out of

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 11 months ago

I've known people who would be pleased by the desire to not make more dishes than necessary.

[-] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 6 points 11 months ago

Me too, but I just leave the butter knife on a plate to begin with. Doesn't seem necessary to (almost) always get a new one

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 13 points 11 months ago

Are a couple of bits of toast a couple of slices of toast? How much toast does this madwoman eat?

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 23 points 11 months ago

It's actually 8 bits in a bite, with 12 bites to one slice of toast. She just wants him to tip the toaster over her open mouth and tap the bottom until she's had her fill of the crumbs. He's happy to be able to reuse the knife to tap the toaster.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 8 points 11 months ago

It's actually 8 bits in a bite

This is why gen z can’t learn computer science.

[-] MyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

I had a friend once eat a piece of toast so large it took him 1024 bites to get through it. The papers called it "the massive bite."

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

tap the bottom until she’s had her fill

hello, appliance store? the toaster you sold me is a lil freaky

[-] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 11 points 11 months ago

Ross, if our lives ever go sideways and you find yourself needing a roommate, I think we would get along just fine.

[-] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

I have mistaken the cat food knife for the butter knife more than once.

[-] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

But you're sure it wasn't the poop knife? Like, 100% positive?

[-] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Yeah, we keep that one in the bathroom sink, not the kitchen sink.

[-] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Smart.

Hope the cat knows.

[-] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Don't be silly, the cat doesn't know how to use knives.

Could also rinse and wipe the knife real quick and put it away, ready for future use

[-] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 7 points 11 months ago
[-] yakko@feddit.uk 5 points 11 months ago

Compromise, just wipe it on a tea towel and leave it on the cutting board

Rinse & wipe & put it in the drawer with fully washed knives?

[-] protist@mander.xyz 3 points 11 months ago

A rinse and wipe is fully washing a knife unless it has something oil-based on it
